Quick read
Ilia Topuria claimed he was set to fight Islam Makhachev at the White House event but was told hours before the announcement that Makhachev was injured and he would face Justin Gaethje instead. Topuria questioned why Makhachev doesn't want to fight him. Makhachev responded that he accepted the White House fight but was told the next day that Topuria requested a massive fee and was denied. Makhachev stated that Topuria was the one who refused the fight. The post also notes that Jorge Masvidal and Bo Nickal both picked Sean Strickland over Khamzat Chimaev, and that Dricus Du Plessis said Israel Adesanya was his most technical opponent while calling his Chimaev fight not even a real fight.
